TOO MUCH BUTTER.
How the OIeomargarine Law Works In the
Eastern States.

HOW tne oleOhafShfiue Ia" "oiNr =" wv
Eastern states.
NEW YORK. March THE Oleomarga-
rine law has not proved such boon TO the
farmers and dairymen of the Eastern States
as they expected.
1t has, to be sure, put an effective quie-
tus upon the trade in bogus butter, but it
has not caused the high prices for genuine
products that the friends Of the law pre-
dicted.
Butter has for some time been selling rs
low and in some instances even lower, than
at this time year and two years ago.
This fact causes much disappointment
among butter men, and has led some to
think that after all the might rs well have
never been passed.
How mistaken is such notion was
shown yesterday by Assistant State Dairy
Commissioner Van Valkenburgh, in dis
cussing the results of the new law.
at is true" he said, that State dairy
butter is no higher now than il was two
years ago at this time. The reason, how
ever, of this is plain. Previous to the en-
actment of the law thousands upon thou
sands of cows throughout the country
were allowed to go dry throughout the
winter, because, in many instances, butter
would only bring six or seven cents a
pound TO the farmer. But when the Oleo-
margarine law passed, the price Of genuine
butter went up all over the country. The
dairy business was stimulated TO a high
degree, and enough butter was produced
to keep down prices here. ] estimate
that over $3,O00,OO0 worth has been
produced. This shows whether the but
ter business has been benefited or not.
Then think what the law has done for the
consumer, in giving him good butter for
price which he has heretofore been com
PEELED 70 pay for the bogus article. This
is, after all, the great gain. The recent
strike have also done much 10 depress the
butter market"
"How about the oleomargarine trade in
this city?n
"Well, think we have got il pretty well
under foot. OF the l0,0OO grocers in this
city and Brooklyn, not 300 have taken ont
licenses TO sell the stuff. In round num-
bers, ! should say that not one-tenth as
much oleOmargarine is now sold as before

Startling Discovery.

RALEIGH, y. c., March ii. G. Win
ner, the well-known matchmaker, of Will
mington, reports remarkable discovery.
In taking observations of the sun in his
business of regulating and adjusting chro-
nometers for masters of vessels arriving at
Wilmington, he found on the Sd inst. that
the mean solar time was 10 minutes OG-lO
seconds slower than it was on the 25th OF
February, when observations were last
taken. Winner is satisfied that his inStru-
ments were in perfect order and his calcu-
lations correct, and was particular in hay-
ing the latter verified by competent pal
ties. Yesterday he telegraphed the result
of his observations TO the National ObseTv-
atOry.
If Weaver is correct in his observations
and calculations this loss OF time shows
that the earth has been retarded i'll its
revolutions in six days-frOm the 25th to
March 3-ten minutes and ten and six
tenthS seconds.
This loss of time makes 4 difference OF
over hundred and ffty-two miles in cal
culating longitude.

Speaker Rowan is in town.
The three column leader in Jim Mason's
paper this week, in which Jim's change of
points was very noticeable, was the subject
OF much humorous comment in the hotel
lobby this evening
The verdict Of the caucus was that Mason
would be Camden man before the Jeffer-
son county special election came round.
1t is said in this connection that the feel
ing between Mason and Lucas has
not been the warmest lately.
Uncle Daniel in the trial Ofthe bridge case
took occasion to tell the Court what he
thought of Mason and his ability TO tell
good lie and then admit.
Since this WAS in the land of Lucas
everything has not been moving rs smooth
ly as it might among theehieis in the anti
Camden camp.
asked a leading Democrat this evening
what the Governor would do in case Cam
den was elected at the extra session. He
said:
II do not know what the Governor
would do, but know what | would do if
| was made Senator in that way. | would
take the printed copies of the Journals of
the two Houses TO the United States Sen
ate, which would he proof positive Of my
election"
lie said further that the Supreme Court
could compel the Governor to issue GER
titicate by writ of mandamus.

THE INDIANA MUDDLE.
Democrats Concede Robertson's Right
Preside Over the Senate.

Democrats Concede RObertson's Right to
Preside Over the Senate.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March Tt was
learned last night that several prominent
gentlemen have written to President Cleve-
land, asking that President Smith, of the
Senate, be appointed Judge Turpie's sue
cessor as District Attorney, and that the
Governor has signitied his purpose of call
ing an extra session of the Legislature if
this appointment is made.
Representative Patterns selection as
Warden of the Southern prison, DR.. Shive-
ley's appointment to position on the
State Board of Health, and Smiths resig-
nation to accept the District AttOrneyship,
should the appointment be made, will cause
three vacancies to be filled by the election,
but each of the districts is Solidly demo-
cratic, and there would be no change in
the political status of the Legislature.
This would require thirty days, and the
extra session would be called to meet at
the end of that time, the Democrats con-
ceding RObertSOu's right to preside over
the Senate during its continuance.
4 strong effort is being made for Smith,
but Judge Turpie is understood to oppose
it because his contest and Smith confirm
alton would both be before the Senate at
the same time. Others, and equally prom
inent Democrats, however, regard this as
the only way out of the muddle.
